Ikot Abasi Historical Sites

Ikot Abasi, a charming town in Akwa Ibom State, is steeped in rich history and cultural heritage. Visit the iconic Lord Luggard’s residence, a small one-story cottage, also known as “Amalgamation house”. Also visit the bridge of no return, which was given its name by the people of Ikot Abasi. This bridge brings to mind the pains of slave trade and was usually the last point of contact between slaves and their lands before they were put on big ships and sent to work on farms in America. Discover the ancient trading ports and markets, where merchants once gathered to exchange goods and stories. Included in  the tour is a visit to the mass grave of the 1929 Women’s War. See, feel, and touch the relics of our colonial masters and bask in the nostalgia of the slave trade era. Ikot Abasi’s historical sites are a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the struggles, triumphs, and traditions of the people. Come and uncover the fascinating history of this enchanting town, a real “Treasure Trove of History”.
